Destinations

With Monograms, if you are planning to visit one city or several, seeking more knowledge of history or culinary delights, or wishing to relax at a scenic resort, we have holidays to suit. Our itineraries vary by region and highlight the unique characteristics of a destination. Plus we offer frequent departures – in many cases, daily departures – to fit in with your schedule.

Hotel

Monograms knows that accommodation is key to a great holiday. That’s why we offer you a choice of hotels pre-selected for their comfort, style, service and convenience. Whether you prefer hotels that are close to shopping or sightseeing, surrounded by natural beauty, part of the city’s artistic heritage, or that offer contemporary styling, our holidays can put you at the heart of your destination —an assurance that first-time visitors to an area find invaluable.

A local host

On Monograms vacations, we provide you with the services of a Local Host, giving you peace of mind that someone is there for you during your holiday. Local Hosts provide area expertise and insider information, and are available to help answer questions, arrange excursions and city sightseeing, give directions, and suggest activities that interest you most for a truly personal experience.

On arrival at your destination, your Monograms Local Host will provide you with a Destination Guide full of useful information to help you make the most of your vacation time and includes:

Welcome letter with daily schedules and your Local Host’s lobby hours

City map

Local Host Picks: suggestions of things to see & do at your destination

Details and times of activities & excursions available through Monograms

Practical information & helpful hints

Information about dining & local specialties

Transfer times and details (for transfers booked through Monograms)

Local transportation guide (where applicable)

Sightseeing

Monograms packages include access to famous landmarks and monuments so you get to experience the must-see sights of a destination. Your Local Guide will accompany you and share insight into the city’s heritage, as well as answer any questions.

Meals

A hot buffet breakfast is included at each hotel for your convenience. Lunches and dinners are not included on your Monograms holiday, as we know you want to choose when and where to eat at your location. Your Local Host will be happy to give you suggestions for dining as well as information about local specialties. After all, one of the best ways to learn about a foreign culture is to eat like the locals!

Transfers

When you touch down at your destination, Monograms will get you to your hotel; and at the end of your holiday, we’ll make sure you get back to the airport for your flight home. Plus if you’re on a multi-city holiday with us, we’ll arrange your transfers between cities.
